The Old Kissane Indictment Dismissed
In New York.

New YORK, December 7th.-On the mo-
ton of District Attorney MARITIME, the in
dictment for forgery against Wm. Kissane,
found in November, 1854, was dismissed by
Recorder Smith. In this Indictment Kis-
sane-who is now a wealthy citizen of Cali
fornia, where he is known as William K
Rogers-was charged with forging check
for $14, SO on the Chemical National Bank
of this city. 1t was revived from forgotten
obscurity by General Francis Darr, an al
most lifelong enemy of Kissane. The Re
corder to-day made this Endorsement on
the old Indictment:
The District Attorney states that he
cannot procure the evidence of witnesses
to maintain the Indictment, and that the
ends of justice will not be served by mov-
ing the trial thereof. For this reason, and
for the further reason that the Indictment
was filed thirty years ago, the motion of
the District Attorney for leave to enter
nolle prosequj, as against the defendant Kis-
sane is granted" >"

ICopyrght, 1887. By the California Associated Press
WASHINGTON, December 7th-Represent-
ative Morrow yesterday presented to Secre-
tary Farchild the report of the San Fran
cisco Postoffice Site Commissioners. The
Secretary has decided to request the Com
missioners TO obtain definite offer for
suitable site.
Morrow called upon the Secretary of the
Navy to-day and urged the establishment
of training ship on the Pacific coast. He
has secured the establishment of a special
bonded warehouse at Napa. If Congress
will vote the money to create an additional
training ship, it will be established at Mare
Island. The law provides for the training
of 750 boys for sea service, and it is ex-
pected that training ship will be estab-
Iished at Mare Island.
Mr.. Morrow also saw Secretary Bayard
to-day and secured a promise that the
United States Consul at Durango should
investigate and report upon the murder of

GUS Church Denominations,
WASHINGTON, December 7th.-The Cen
eral Christian Conference, under the anspices
and direction of the Evangelical Alliance
of the United States, opened this morning.
The grand object of the Conference is to
discuss measures upon which all the de-
nominations may be brought to unite; to
meet certain new and pressing
emergencies which have arisen in
wealth, business, immigration, the changed
relations of labor and capital, and the great
and growing percentage of our population
who are not church members nor attend
ants.
President Dodge, in his opening address,
said the Alliance had thoughtfully studied
the social and economic changes in the
country, and sought to know whether the
existing Christian organizations were suffi-
cient to meet the growing needs. He re-
ferred to the organized power of the saloons,
and said the Church had lost its hold on
the working men. Everywhere among them
is unrest and looking for higher good.
This means grand opportunity and time
for an applied Christianity.

presided. He said there had never been a
time when such raIlying and uniting of all
that is best in the Christian church was
more imperatively needed than now. He
introduced Prof H. Boyson, OF Columbia
College, who made short address upon
the subject of immigration.
The Constitution of the United States,
he said, was framed by men of Anglo
Saxon origin for their own government.
The Socialists and Anarchists come tO
avenge here what they suffered in Europe.
BY their disloyal sentiments and hostility
to American institutions they disorganize
and weaken the State. He believed that
the time had arrived when our former pol
icy OF indIscriminate absorption of foreign
elements of population would result in a
serious crisis. The nation is no longer able
to assimilate the alien elements with suffi-
cient rapidity. More competition with
American labor enters in week through

a year. Protection to American labor is a
farce so long as this Unbarred fiood-gate re-

WASHINGTON, December 7th.-The work
of arranging the standing committees of
the Senate progresses more slowly than
was expected. 1t is now doubtful if these
committees will be announced before Mon
day. Senator Stewart of Nevada is
anxious to be placed upon the Judiciary
Committee, position which he had when
he was a former member of the Senate.
Stanford, who will be made Chairman of
the Committee on Public Buildings and
Grounds, would also like to get upon the
Commerce Committee, but it does not seem
likely that either Stewart or Stanford will
have their ambitions fully gratified
Dolph of Oregon will retain his place on
the Commerce Committee as the repre-
sentative of the Pacific coast 1t is under
stood that Senator Cameron will be Chair
man of Naval Affairs Senator Hawlev OF
Military Affairs, Senator Sabin of Rail
